the fbi's investigated former senator hagel. the speech that kristen is referring to is when he was done as a private citizen. every single defense secretary nominee prior to him in the modern era has been asked exactly the same questions that he was, testified before the committee and, guess what? not a single time was there a problem before that, whether it was a democrat or republican september in 1989 with john tower. and conservatives brought down t john tower. conservatives are bringing down one of their own. this is very, very troubling to me as a former senate staffer. >> but it's not just a personal thing. republicans disagree with how hagel approaches israel. they disagree with how he approaches size of the military. >> they should vote against him, not filibuster him. >> i think that's ultimately what will happen. they said, look, don't move the game on us, don't move the vote up to this extra day. give us a little extra time to ask these questions. >> let's be honest about why harry reid did that. they were going in

that's also why i voted to not end debate on the hagel nomination. i do not believe senator hagel has adequately explained his activities in their financing since he left the senate. what is he referring to specifically there? >> chuck hagel, former republican senator from nebraska, doesn't and didn't want to tell his former colleagues in the senate everything about where he got paid to speak pro-arab groups that he talked to that compound and complicate previous statements that he had made about the so-called jewish lobby, referring to the united states as connection to israel. for rand paul, this is extra tricky. this sounds a little confusing, but imagine this, the foreign policy of libertarian minded conservative republicans like rand paul has more in common with chuck hagel than it does with john mccain. they are opposed to intervention. they're in favor of cutting defense budgets as part of an overrecall reduction in government spending. so libertarians like the idea of chuck hagel, who wants to be part of cuts and who wants to be less interven
